Davvero eccezionale! Okay… that’s “Really outstanding!” for those of you who don’t speak Italian.
And y’know what? You don’t need to speak Italian to enjoy an outstanding meal at George’s Cucina Italiana. And y’know what else? You won’t spend anywhere near as much as you would at one of those branded restaurant chains either.
George’s is a modest, family-owned restaurant hidden in Glendale’s quaint Kenneth Village. But, don’t let its unassuming ambiance distract you from its really outstanding food. Like any great restaurant, the food is why you’d come here. It’s authentic, it’s fresh, and it’s prepared to perfection.
Seating is intimate, parking is free and easy to find on the neighboring streets; and for those of you who don’t get enough sax in your life, there is a live saxophonist apparently playing every Friday night.
I dine out frequently and I am simply (and happily) drawn to George’s. I’ve never been disappointed and you won’t be either. Buon appetito!

We had the seafood penne, sausage spaghetti, and meatballs on the side. Everything was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Very quaint Italian restaurant that I would absolutely reccomend.

I appreciated the ability to create my own pasta dish, and I could really taste the freshness of the food. The restaurant has a small space, which can get quite loud when it’s busy, so I recommend making reservations. Adding some table covers and padded chairs could make the atmosphere feel cozier. Overall, the prices are decent.

Best pizza and pasta in LA. Great memories and vibes
I recently dined at George's cucina and it was an outstanding experience. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with authentic Italian flavors. From the fresh pasta to the perfectly seasoned sauces, everything tasted like it was made with passion and high-quality ingredients.
The service was equally exceptional. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu, offering great recommendations. They truly went above and beyond to make the evening enjoyable. Whether you're craving classic Italian dishes or something more unique, this restaurant is a must-visit. I can't wait to return!
Recommended dishes: Mozzarella Sticks, Garlic Bread, Medium Pizza, Caprese Salad, Chicken Marsala, Homemade Meat Lasagna, Wings of Fire, Pasta with Sausage and Meat Sauce, Chicken Cilantro Pizza

Me and my family of 4, including 2 littles stopped by for dinner. The waitress took our order quickly, but that was all she did well. The food took a whole hour for 3 dishes. In that time we were not offered bread, or even were mentioned that some bread could be purchased a la carte. Something because we were hungry. The place is small and didn't have too many people placing orders. Maybe it was because of the cooks, but some communication would have been nice. Never were we offered water refills, we had to ask for water refills after we had all been sitting on empty cups for at least 30 minutes. The food tasted good but the speed may need to pick up. The waitress definitely needs to work on her customer service.
